Whenever you come across a new CSS technique or feature, you probably ask yourself does this work in IE? It's a normal question for web developers, and the answer is often no.

As someone who has and still deals with depression, anxiety, and other forms of mental illness I can attest. When things are good, that’s when self-care matters the most.
